The models for training of student-pilots for the needs of the Croatian Air Force have been created by accommodation of the models applied by the air forces of western nations (Germany, United Kingdom, Israel and America) and further conditioned by the requirements, financial potential and finally-the aspired-to qualities of graduated aeronautical engineers -future pilots. . . For the first time in the Republic of Croatia the education and training of full-time student-pzlots have been organized in the civilian educational system with the University of Zagreb (Faculty of Traffic Engineering) using the course and program of instruction granting the highest level of education - a university degree. Highest quality education/training is provided ~y top specialists in the field, university teachers employed with the Faculty of Traffic Engineering and teaching members of the Croatian Air Forces (flight instructors). In this manner we have succeeded in providing a highly graded education and training of future pilots of the Croatian Air Force in the country.

Flying as the vocational commitment of a person makes one of the most complex aspects of human activity. The beginning of materialization of such professional orientation refers to the selection of candidates for student-pilots at the Faculty of Traffic Engineering, Department of Aeronautical Engineering (Croatian Air Force Pilots). To become a student of aeronautical engineering at the Faculty of Traffic Engineering means having successfully passed a series of medical, psychiatric, psychological, and admissions examinations for this particular line of university course of studies for a degree. The import of selection of candidates in the process of selective flight training of student-pilots rests in the highly professional approach to the first level of training of student· -pilots resulting in the maximum economy of costs and confident and undoubted assessment of the capacities of a student- pilot in future execution of assignments in units of the Croatian Air Force. The Zagreb University Faculty of Traffic Engineering, Croatian Air Force and Antiaircraft Defense cooperate in the education and training of students for a degree in aeronautical engineering.

The author has in this paper offered for the first time in Croatia the model of classification of bus stations according to the following criteria: - daily number of services: departures and arrivals - percentage of transit bus services pyramid classification - geographical/traffic-aspected location of a particular bus station. The study has covered eleven bus stations, transit, transversal and terminal ones, dealing with a precise description of their transport functions, level of provision of infrastructure facilities and equipment, as well as their temporal by aspected operations. Classification provides the instruments for establishing the amount of the fee paid by transport companies for using the bus station and parking, and by passengers through booking seats and paying for bus station service, left luggage and use of toilets and parking of their automobiles. Classification sets to bus stations the requirement of provision of technological and engineering propositions to grant passengers and other users of bus stations a particular level of service.

This paper deals with an attempt at resolving the problem of gridlock in urban areas with particular reference to environment- friendly traffic system. In order to help creating an environment-friendly traffic system, it shall be necessary to take the following measures: gradual relocation of motor traffic by means of a correctly aspected traffic/urban planning policy, rerouting of motor traffic for purposes of improvement of the quality of non- Promet, vol. 6, 1994, br. 5, 127-131 -motorist traffic, improvement of the very method of operation of motor vehicles by technology/control measures and implementation of measures of traffic abatement in residential areas.

The paper deals with the conditions and terms and methods of carriage of live animals in railway traffic. Live animals can be accepted for carriage in cages or without them, only with appropriate accompanying veterinary/sanitary papers. Transport must be organized in conformance with respective rules and precaution measures in order to have animals reach destination unharmed and alive. During transport adequate care is taken about fodder and water, airing and cleanliness of wagons, while at the end of carriage wagons are obligatorily disinfected.
